[Alanna]

I would have given this book a MUCH higher rating if it had included the pronuncitation of each name. Surely, for a language that is written so differently from the way it is pronounced, you would think that would be the very most basic thing to include.

[raccoon reader]

I would have loved the pronunciation of each name. Plus, some really are a stretch like (and this is not made up. It is IN the book) Narbflhfhlaith. Really. Seriously. Name your kid that. I *dare* you.
